Scene homebrew creator @GaryOderNichts is no stranger to getting custom software to run on platforms. particularly the Wii U. This time around, though, enthusiasts have gotten custom code to run on something even more unusual: the Nintendo Alarmo. Less than a month after the clock's release, users were doing technical teardowns and finding out how to run custom code on it. And of course, a method to run everyone's favorite, DOOM, on the Alarmo, was discovered. GaryOderNichts made a detailed breakdown about the process of how the Alarmo works, and then four days later, followed it up with a video of 1993's DOOM running on the clock. Not only can it run, but it can even be controlled, by the little button on top of the Alarmo. Because of course.

After my last post, it was pretty clear what everyone wanted to see on the Alarmo. So, here it is - Doom running on the Nintendo Alarmo! pic.twitter.com/WimckYPnXZ

The most predictable first response is also the response I wanted to see the most.

Glad to be that response

 

[kijetesantakalu042]

I can't wait for Chime CFW 0.0.01 to release

 

[Exnor]

Nice.

 

[MysticStarlight]

Super Mario 64 when?

 

[kijetesantakalu042]

Super Mario 64 when?

I don't thinks it's powerful enough

It might be possible to write a streaming client though.

Damn, of course this thing just has a rectangular screen at the center... for a moment I got so eager for circular Doom

 

[Ettino]

Wow,.............Gary spent a hundred bucks on an alarm clock!

 

[AdenTheThird]

I CALLED IT I FUCKING CALLED IT

 

[kijetesantakalu042]

I CALLED IT I FUCKING CALLED IT

Literally everyone called it.

 

[CoolMe]

Finally, now i can wake up every day to the Doom title screen music!

 

[slaphappygamer]

I want this on mine.

 

[AdenTheThird]

Literally everyone called it.

I know, I know...

 

[PrincessLillie]

I want this on mine.

SO UNBELIEVABLY BASED WHAT A GOOD SUGGESTION

 

[Veho]

Great, now I want the Alarmo.

I know Doom is the litmus test but the Alarmo uses the same chipset as their Game and Watch consoles which means it could run those game collections as well.

 

[zxr750j]

Waiting for: I accidentally updated my alarmo now it doesn't run doom anymore...

No: just brilliant, I love it! Makes me wanna buy one.

 

[SDA]

Impressive, but not enough to change my opinion on the Alarmo. I still consider that alarm clock to be utterly worthless.

 

[Bladexdsl]

i'll piss myself laughing if someone actually does find a way to use this to hack the switch

 

[ZeroT21]

Plz get it to run Crysis ,then we'll celebrate

 

[SylverReZ]

Finally, now i can wake up every day to the Doom title screen music!

Time to wake up and shoot demons.

Now we need Homebrew on the Alarmo

Homebrew now already exists on the Alarmo as you can see.

 

[Blythe93]

Jailbroken Alarmo.
